Global Tobacco Market

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Tobacco Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024”, the global tobacco market reached a volume of 8.2 Million Tons in 2018. Tobacco is a plant within the genus Nicotine of the Solanaceae family. While there are more than 70 species of tobacco, N. tabacum is considered as the chief commercial crop. Tobacco consists of a colourless volatile alkaloid, commonly known as nicotine which acts as a stimulant and depressant. It raises the heart-rate, increases blood-pressure, contracts peripheral blood vessels and affects the functioning of brain.  Currently, the production of tobacco in developed countries is declining, whereas, in developing countries, tobacco leaf production continues to increase, thus expanding their share in the world.

The tobacco market is witnessing an increase in the number of smokers, particularly in the emerging regions like China and India, on account of consistently growing population. Owing to escalating disposable incomes of the consumers, manufacturers are launching premium products and raising their product prices as customers are willing to spend their money onto these products. Apart from this, enhanced distribution networks have assisted in improving the overall sales of the tobacco products. Moreover, as females account for an insignificant share of the total tobacco consumption, tobacco firms are introducing products which are labelled as feminine, including light cigarettes, long and skinny, etc., in order to widen their consumer-base and increase the number of female consumers. In addition to this, rising health-consciousness has resulted in the advent of a number of low-risk tobacco products and manufacturers are investing in research and development of numerous products which can help them in maintaining their profits. This is expected to positively influence the growth of the tobacco industry in the upcoming years. Looking forward, the market is projected to reach a volume of around 9.1 Million Tons by 2024, at a CAGR of around 1.4% during 2019-2024.
